The AVIATOR Pet Bird Harness and Leash: X-Small Green

I waited a few weeks to write the review to really test it out. So I bought this for my 3 month old double yellow headed Amazon thinking I would try it out after trying out 2 other types of harnesses on my other birds. I thought If nothing else I would use it to get him used to wearing it while he was young and if he chewed it up while learning that would be okay, because I would buy another when he is full grown. The one I ordered had said it was right size for yellow naped Amazon, so I figured it would fit him for a few more months since double yellow heads are a bit bigger...Boy was I wrong. In just the 2 weeks from the time I received it his head has already grown too big to fit. This is by no means the sellers fault in this, but my own. In the past I had ordered different types of harness for my cockatiels and although I liked the other kind of harnesses the each lacked the durability that I wanted for a larger bird. As for the fact this one is all one piece when others I had were harder to put on. This one is durable at least the harness itself. It is a very thick material and I feel like it would take a long time for him to chew it up if he ever wanted to, although I plan to teach him not to and so far he hasn’t tried to chew. The leash part think could be a little thicker. It’s thick enough and I would trust it for one of my smaller birds but for one like him I wouldn’t trust it not to last through a good chewing session. At the same time I don’t plan to have him in it without constant supervision to let there be a chew session, and I always have back up such as a bird carrier backpack. I also know I wouldn’t leave him unattended long enough to chew. I also love that there’s not all these complicated parts that make it take even longer to get it on as others I have tried out. And for a bird who still isn’t full grown I felt like this was much safer then others in being against the crop. It doesn’t pull in the chest area which I appreciate. We did have a blast the first time I got him in it and was able to take him for a walk around the yard to check the mail and it was nice to finally get him out without being in a carrier. He had fun talking to neighbors passing by, charming them with yelling out “hello” to them and he had me laughing with babbling away excitedly whenever he saw something new. I can’t wait to take him out again. He wasn’t too happy when I first put it on him even if we had been getting him used to touching his wings and being wrapped up with a towel. He did enjoy being out and now he doesn’t mind us draping it onto him while formula feeding, since his head doesn’t fit that’s all we can do with it now. I will be buying a larger one soon. This is great to have if you have the time to spend to get your bird to wear it, and it is probably the best made easiest one to put on of those I have tried.

Harness is great. I got the package a little late but I was able to communicate with the seller about the delay and they correct it right away.

I got this for my hand raised budgie. He's 8 weeks old. I have a strong bond with him and love being with him, I'd like to take him out in the yard with me without the cage so I looked into harnesses. I have put this 1 on him 1 time so far indoors and it wasn't easy. He sounded like he was crying and it made me so sad. He didn't like it but after he had it on and realized he could fly still he was ok. Occasionally he would just fall over like a cat does with clothes on which made me sad but I do think he will adjust and accept it after using it a few times. I definitely wouldn't try this with my pet store birds. They would probably die of fear if I tried. I haven't tried it since the 1st time because it did emotional trauma to me just hearing him make the sad noises. But he was all snuggles and smooches after he could stand up and stretch. I'm not sure if I will keep trying. I'd like to. The idea is lovely but I'm not sure it's worth it. I would like to add the slide on it could be smaller for this small harness. It's absolutely bulky and takes up half his stomach area and it's too large to put between his wings. Also it was easy to get the harness on but the slide wasnt sliding easily, I had to inch it up but by bit, which took forever and made the struggle that much harder for my bird and me. If I do keep using it I'll add a few pictures since I didn't take any the 1st time.

Must have for my flock! My flock loves this and it lasts! I have a Macaw, Congo African Gray, Eclectus, Amazon, and a Cockatoo. There is one for each!

Product is well made but choice of materials may not be suitable for all birds. The harness attaches to a thin elastic bungee type thin rope. My umbrella cockatoo bit through this and detached it into two pieces in a single whomp as if it were butter. She accepted the harness with no issues. The material the harness is made from is durable and by most part chew resistant. If the attachment part was about 8 more inches longer and out of reach of bird this would be a much better design. Would recommend if your bird is not a chewer.

I’m not including a photo since I’m sure there are many others (and also videos) plus it’s pretty self explanatory but this leash in the size recommended for a blue headed pionus, fits my blue headed pionus. I got the cobalt blue color which matches his head. I do think he’s more comfortable in this leash as opposed to his older similar same color and fabric leash he’s worn for many years (I forget the name brand of the old leash) but he’s 26 years old and is flighted so he must wear a leash outside and since he’s my beloved pet, it must be a secure leash. I think he doesn’t enjoy the process of putting this new leash on and taking it off because of how his wings have to be thread through it as opposed to the older leash which went under his wings and then clipped in the front but besides the process of putting it on and taking it off, I do think he feels more comfortable in it once it’s on due to having more room around his neck/crop area. I do worry a little bit about a larger parrot with a stronger beak possibly being able to chew through the black stretchy portion of this leash as well as the places where it’s clamped together with metal pieces (at least it’s not plastic that can break or be chewed through) which hold the thicker colored portion of the leash to the thinner black stretchy portion possibly coming apart. I also like that I can clip his old leash to a belt loop since it has a metal spring clip (if you know what I mean) whereas this one comes with a wrist loop - so just need to make sure the wrist loop is small enough for your wrist so it can’t come off easily! Or add a metal spring clip

Good for tame birds - to go outside make it much safer to take ur pet bird out - but much harder if ur bird is feisty and bites I would avoid as u won’t be able to even put it on.

This harness is fantastic. It's actually very easy to use after a couple of tries. It looks comfortable on my tiel and it feels very secure, my only issue is the size of the wrist band attached to it. I feel it's very easy for it to move off your hand because of how small/thin it is. I've tried adjusting it but I don't see how. It shouldn't be an issue if you keep a tight hold. Otherwise, it's the only harness out there I trust. Very worth the price.

Ich kann das Geschirr nur Jederzeit empfehlen ! Meine Nympfensittich Dame Coocky war beim ersten Versuch leicht nervös. Aber mit etwas Geduld konnte ich die Flugleine anlegen. Die Größe XXS passt hervorragend !! Nun liegt es an mir mit Coocky zu trainieren. Die mitgelieferte 45 minütige DVD zeigte mir, was ich zu Beginn falsch gemacht hatte. Meine Süsse konnte zwar schon etwas fliegen, aber da war diese Schnalle am Körper, die sie störte. Auch bei der Landung war es eben etwas, was sie nicht kannte. Bei mir war immer im Kopf die Angst, dass Coocky sich befreien könnte oder ich die Schlaufe am Handgelenk vergessen könnte. Also waren wir beide nur aufgeregt ... weiter nix. Ich bin der festen Überzeugung, dass mit meiner Geduld und dem Erfolgserlebnis von Coocky (hoch zu fliegen), sie ihr Geschirr am Körper vergisst, so wie in der DVD beschrieben. Ich für meinen Teil muss lernen dem Geschirr zu vertrauen, mich zu konzentrieren, dass es gut sitzt und meine Angst (es würde nicht halten) Herr zu werden. Zumindest schaffte ich es mit meiner Kleinen über die Strasse zu meinen Nachbarn ;-)

El mejor mejor arnés que puedes tener. Tiene una excelente calidad. (Yo compré hace tiempo uno aquí en México, hecho por una empresa mexicana. Estuve a punto de perder mi guacamaya, la calidad que tiene es muy pobre y nada económico... :/ ) Afortunadamente encontre Aviator y es de lo mejor! El servicio de envío fue un poco tardado ya que se utilizó correo postal mexicano, no llegó a tiempo. Inmediatamente me reenviaron el arnés por DHL y lo recibí 5 días después. Siempre hubo disposición por parte del vendedor para enviarlo nuevamente. Súper recomendado! Muy fácil para ponerlo. Vale la pena tener a tu mascota feliz, darle la oportunidad de salir de casa e incluso volar con seguridad. Sin lugar a dudas, será una excelente herramienta que te va a permitir disfrutar mucho a tu ave. Gracias Steve por tus recomendaciones. Gracias, estamos muy felices mi Lola y yo... ;)

Thank you very much! Our chick is 2 months old, and we managed to put it on the first try. Of course, she is not thrilled, and when we stop during the walk, she tries to take it off. But most of the time, she just travels on my shoulder, and we are not afraid that she will fly away. It seems to press a little under her wings, but maybe she will get used to it soon and not notice it. We would like to have a soft version, like a vest, possibly with Velcro; maybe it would be more comfortable for her. But for now, this is the best option available.

Lorsque j ai ouvert le paquet, j ai trouvé que j avais payé très cher l’article et je pensais qu il n était pas très sécurisant pour mon Cacatoes.. je pensais qu il pouvait rapidement s échapper alors j ai spontanément décidé de retourner l article afin d être remboursée. Puis, je me suis dit que le prix devait certainement justifier quelque chose alors j ai quand même pris le temps de regarder le DVD livre avec le harnais. Et là, grande surprise ! Ce harnais est génial! Hyper confortable pour l oiseau et très rassurant pour le maître de l oiseau. L élastique permet à l oiseau de revenir vers son maître, il lui est impossible de s échapper et le vol est très sympathique ! Je suis ravie. Le harnais à un sens lorsque vous le posez à l oiseau. La technique de ce harnais est si perfectionnée que le prix vaut le coût d être investi ! Merci à ces passionnés qui ont du se casser la tête pour réaliser un harnais aussi confortable, d excellente qualité .
